GLOBE TROTTER GW
HEWMJW
Attributes Good Health to Cus
tom of Walking Many Miles
Every Day
“Hiker” Rufus, globe-trotter ped
estrian, is spending several days in
Americus, and today discussed his
experience with a Times-Recorder
man. ‘I have been asked the ques
tion,” said Rufus “several times
while in the city how I keep look
ing so well after the several Lard
walks, I have taken throughout the
globe. Walking in all kinds of
weather and enduring the many
(hardships. I attribute it all to
walking, as that is the greatest ex
erercise the human race can indulge
in.
“Get up in the morning, throw
out your chest, inhale long deep
breaths of rich ozone, walk erect
for a small matter of 10 or 20 min
utes before breakfast for one mere
little week and note the difference.
"As a rule, we hop out of our
warm bed, scan the headlines of the
papers hop into our car then go to
that hot stuffy office, where we re
main until lunch, and then repeat
the same thing again, we get no
exercise and then wonder why we
are not feeling well. How this
remedies all that ill feeling. Walk
to that office, walk back home
again and I’ll bet a dime to • a
nickle that you will have more pep
you will meet your friends in a
more cheerful way. Business wdl
go over better, your doctor will
carry a frown and the undertaker
will turn green with envy.
“May sound foolish, but this
comes from a man who hasn’t spent
three whole dollars for medicine in
his forty-five years of living.
“Now when you do walk, use the
ball of the foot not the heel, that
is used to keep you from falling
backwards.
“Walking, you know is just a
mode of falling forward, and you
feet move in unison with your body
to keep it up.
“If you come down hard on that
heel, f>r the nerves which run
up the spine and on to the brain,
causing a nervous strain, head
aches an*d dullness.
Through the courtesy of the
Times-Recorder I am telling you
this to keep you well. Start walk
ing clubs, get the habit and alt will
be well. I love to see a healthy
smile.
Maybe Europe could arrest
her statesman for disturbing the
peace.

In the grim half-hour that fol
lowed she lost all sense ol time. I
biie looked up suuueniy to see
renniagton beiore her.
"I'm just oil, ’ ne said quietly,
‘•'then you Know —
"He nas toid me as much as I
wanted to know.”
She regarded him doubtfully.
"It all sounds so utterly hope
less, she declared.
Wellington was leaning against
the table, eating bread and cheese
alternately.
"You must remember, Mrs.
Viney,” he told her between the
mouthfulls, "that 1 have made it
my business to study the move
ments of our archoandit. It would
be impossible for me to know all
' his hiding-places, but 1 have dis
covered a good few of them, suf
ficient, 1 feel convinced, to assist
me in sifting fact from fiction.
Wong-See—the intelligent youth I
collared in the act ol making a
hurried exit—is a poor sort of crea-
I ture, when brought face to face
with the serious problems of this
life. By dint of dire threats and
much patience, 1 gathered he was
on the point of proceeding to Chai-
Hung’s liar, to the place where
your brother has been taken. In
effect, we have arrived at a de
lightful compromise. Wong-See is
between Scylla and Charybdis: If
he fails to join Chai-Hung—the
vengeance of that gentleman will
fall upon him, swiftly and surely,
whether he seek refuge in China
or any old island in the archi
pelago. The remaining horn of the
dilemma is—” He stuck his ton
gue in his cheek. “ —death by the
most horrible torture imaginable—
at the hands of ‘he who sees in the
dark’, otherwise myself! Now
comes the compromise. H'e is to
proceed to Chai-Hung’s hiding
place, as he had originally intend
ed, only with Pennington in his im
mediate rear. In this manner, he
stands a sporting chance of dodg
ing a horrible end at the hands of
either.”
He reached for his hat.
Monica slipped between him and
the door.
‘‘You’re not going alone?”
"Most certainly.”
She stamped her foot impatient-
I ly '
“You mutsn’t do that!” she cried
“It’s positively absurd. Supposing
there are others waiting for Wong-
See in the jungle?”
“I’ve been in tight corners be
fore, Mrs. Viney,” ne reminded her
gently, “and I’ve managed to
squirm out of ’em somehow. If 1
attempt to start out with a crowd
of native soldiers, the information
will be tapped out on some native
telegraph-sysWm almost before the
men have left the barracks. Hewitt
will be spirited away and the
chances of rescue will become a
thousand times more remote.”*
“One more couldn’t possibly do
any harm,” protested Monica.
“I’m not taking any chances,”
said Pennington.
“Take me!” said the girl flushed
to the roots of her hair.
“You!”
“Why not? I shall be at my wits ‘
end if you leave me here alone.” I
Her voice broke. “If Chai-Hung <
shouldn’t he send for me while you
is plotting against one of us, why I
are away, looking for Jack?”
Pennington glanced hurriedly at
his watch and Monica, realized that
her argument had gone home. She
seized his jacket impulsively with
Pennington's one weakness lay
in his utter inexperience of the
opposite sex.
“Come on, then,” he said, with a
gruffness that was new to her.
“There’s an electric torch in the
right-hand drawer of your broth
er’s desk. We may want it.”
Trembling with excitement, she
hurried in search of it, joining him

the veranda steps. Almost at the’
exact spot where she had seen the
man who had impersonated Penping
ton, the cook-boy awaited the or
der to proceed.
Soon they had left the beaten
track and were threading their way
through tangled undergrowth, un
der branches so closely interwoven
as to exclude the stars, the hum
ming of countless legions of in
sects in their edrs, the bright light
of the electric torch describing an
illuminated circle on the back of
Wong-See.
The night air blew suddenly chill
and a slight shiver ran through
Monica.
Her companion brought his head
almost to a level with hers.
“Cold?” he demanded softly.
She smiled up at him.
“Not really. Actually, I’m su
premely content.”
They relapsed into silence again,
and Pennington conscious of a j
smoldering inconsumable fire with- |
in, glanced covertly at the trim j
figure of the attractive widow who (
kept pace with him, and was glad 1
that he had let her come. Ke quick
ened his step, until Monica found
herself compelled to run to keep up

CAN A WOMAN
LOVE TWICE?
While of great interest to every
one of us who ever married or
thought of marriage (and who
hasn’t thought of marriage?) “Can
A Woman Love Twice?” the pho
toplay starring Ethel Clayton at
the Rylander theater Wednesday,
will be of particular interest to
veterans of the late war and their
women folks, particularly the lat
ter. For, while the picture as a
whole is a dramatic treatment of a
theme that finds a universal re
sponse, the women folks of former
soldiers will have especial oppor-
tunity to_ indulge in the favorite
feminine pastime of "”“what~might
have been,” inasmuch as the story
concerns a girl-wife and mother
whose husband is killed in France.
The battle scenes themselves,
while realistically thrilling and stir
ring, merely form incidental back
grounds to establish the heroic
death of the girl’s husband. Forced
upon her own resourcse after the|
birth of her son, the young woman I
is flung by circumstances into the;
role of a cabaret entertainer. Then, j
for the future of her baby she is
led to pTatice a great deception—
she passes herself off as the wife
of a man whom his father in Cali
fornia believes to be dead. Dra
matic surprises then' come thick
and fast.
On the program with “Can a
l Woman Love Twice” will be shown I
| a Bull Montana comedy, “Glad;
I Rags.”
! Today’s program at the Rylander
I consists of “Racing Hearts” with
, Theodore Roberts, Agnes Ayres and i
Richard Dix and Bustar Keaton’s I
latest comedy, “The Love Nest.” I

WASPS RELEASED TO
CONTROL CORN BORER
BOSTON, July 31.—With the re
lease of 1,000,000 tiny wasps,
termed habrobracons, in this vicin
ity, experts of the Bureau of En
tomology, United Stales Depart
ment of Agriculture, hope they
have set in motion an agency that
will result in the destruction of the
! corn borer and the saving of mil-
I lions of dollars to the farmers. The
I success of the experiment, entomo
i logists say, will not be determined
until observations have extended
over a period of years.
Imported from France, in which
country and in Italy the habrobra
con has proved a relentless enemy
of the corn borer, four colonies of
the insects were bred at the govern
ment laboratories in Arlington.
; Whether the wasp can survive and
i flourish in the colder and more
uneven climate of New England and
the United States in general is a
question still to be determined.
I These days a man’s outlook in
‘ life depends upon his lookout.
